Using Selenium (2.5.0), one of the steps is to run a simple block of JavaScript:

Command: runScript

Target: javascript{document.getElementById("ui-datepicker-div").style.display='block';}

Value: [blank]

When running executing this command I get the error message

[error] Unexpected Exception: TypeError: document.getElementById(...) is null.

Can anyone suggest how I can fix this?

As far as i know target is the page you want to execute the command and value is the javascript code you want to run. – Praind Aug 04 '14 at 11:39
No unfortunately it occurs in either of the fields – tim.baker Aug 04 '14 at 11:45

Do the same thing outside Selenium and direct in Chrome or Firefox' console - at least then you know it's either Selenium at fault or something else. – Arran Aug 04 '14 at 16:41
@Arran It's just in Selenium. – tim.baker Aug 05 '14 at 08:06
